As the year's first Team List Tuesday dawns upon us, Round 1 every year brings forth shock selections, stars benched, and like every season - a host of rookies.
While many look at the young crop for the SuperCoach potential, the majority of us watch in anticipation to see what the next generation can deliver.
There's been some amazing rookies over the past few seasons, with the likes of Stephen Crichton and Harry Grant going from virtual unknowns to making the Origin squads in 2020. Every player on this list is yet to make their NRL debut, but you'll know their names soon enough.
11. Ben Trbojevic
A surname you'll be accustomed to, Ben is as comfortable in the centres as he is in the back-row, but the exit of Joel Thompson and Corey Waddell has the third Trbojevic brother ready to make his mark in first-grade.
Jack Gosiewski is expected to grab the vacant starting role over Andrew Davey for the first round, but Manly are just one injury in the second-row away from Ben running out for his maiden NRL match.
Can anyone say “Trbojevic” ? All but everybody calls these boys Trbojevich. It is “vic” not “vich”
Correct pronunciation would sound like Tr (roll the R)-boy-ev-its, unless they have an accent on the c, like ć (tj) or č (ch).
